Cast a Spell! Have a Magical Day!
Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn + it's Mercury's day: Time to stop dreaming & start doing; time to listen more, talk less.
it's wednesday, december 4, & moon moves from sagittarius into capricorn mid-late-morning while being supported & transported by the starspace called uttarashadha. the journey from jupiter-ruled sag into saturn-ruled cap is one from the ethereal to the concrete, from being inspired into making that inspiration real, solid, tangible, of turning principles into action, from dreaming the dream in your head into living its reality. saturn time is time to smack down.
“if your convictions mean something, you must be prepared to stand up for them & make sacrifices if necessary. &, if you’re not prepared to do that, you have no convictions. you just think you do. but those are not convictions & principles; they’re only thoughts in your head.”—from alexei navalny's posthumous memoir, "patriot"
uttarashadha is the counterpart to yesterday's purvashadha. purva means "early victory," uttara "latter victory." achievement is a two-step process—starting & then keeping on keeping on.
“progress isn’t just miles. it’s steps. it’s a hike, with wrong turns, & dead ends, moments you stop to admire the beauty & moments you need to sit down because your legs are sore.”—from v.e. schwab's newsletter, "the visible life of v.e.schwab"
purva is ruled by apas, the waters of divine wisdom & inspiration, uttara by the vishvadevas—goodness, truth, skill, time, willpower, desire, firmness, etc.—all the gods who are working together to support us. uttara reminds us that the universe has our back—all we have to do is realize we need help & ask for it. what's your weakness? what could you use more of? oh, yeah, the punchline: as above, so below—just as the planets express their energy through us, so do the gods. it's all within! you got this!
it's the fourth lunar day (tithi), the fourth phase of the waxing moon, which can bring challenges, can make us feel like we are hiking up a steep mountain & a downed tree is blocking our path. what to do? embrace the challenge, tap into our inner resources, rise to the occasion. shift our perspective, b/c, as my teacher sharon gannon says, "magic is just a shift of perception." have a magical day!
wednesday is thinky-talky mercury's day, & he is still retrograde. the art of communication is always best served by listening more & speaking less, but/& with mercury retrograde that's even more true. so do reflect & rethink lest you react rather than respond.
TL;DR
what are you willing to stand up for, show up for, sacrifice for if necessary? • progress happens one step at a time. • turn challenges into opportunities by shifting your perspective. • pause, rethink & reflect so you can respond rather than react.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌒🙏✨
